Mercy Street

I hear your shoes sigh on the floor
 You're drunk on rum poached agony
 Love's a sheet with cigarette burns
 Countless lessons never learned
 I pour my thoughts in a coffee cup, yeah
 Then I watch my fame go down the drain
 I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
 While you're still searching for Mercy Street
 Box me in a jeweled bin
 In the backyard of your heart
 Never know what you will gain
 Chocolate stains or stomach pain
 I found Jesus in a coffee cup, yeah
 But now my fame goes down the drain
 I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
 While you're still searching for Mercy Street
 You read Hesse and I think wine
 Hope you have a real good time
 And you say that you have tried
 Trashy smiles and cardboard lies
 I hear your shoes sigh on the floor
 You're drunk on rum poached agony
 Love's a sheet with cigarette burns
 Countless lessons never learned
